We present an overview of the theoretical background and experimental re sults in the
rapidly developing field of semiconductor quantum dots-systems 8 6 of dimensions as small …

One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures, including nanorods, nanowires, nanotubes, etc.,
exhibit the quantum confinement effects in the other two dimensions. Nanomaterials with 1D …

We discuss experimental results on the ability to significantly tune the photoluminescence
decay rates of CdSe quantum dots embedded in an ordered template, using lightly doped …

Using thick-shell or “giant” CdSe/CdS nanocrystal quantum dots (g-NQDs), characterized by
strongly suppressed Auger recombination, we studied the influence of plasmonic …

Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) represents a widely used growth technique to approach the
basic research applied to the growth of semiconductor films and multilayer structures. The …

Submicron beam synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques have been
developed and used to accurately and nondestructively map chemical composition and …

The stress and strain in a growing sample are driving forces leading to the formation of self-
assembled quantum dots in lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxy. The stress and strain …

Nanoparticles have unique properties that can be beneficial in fields ranging from quantum
information to biological sensing. To take advantage of some of some of these benefits …

There is currently interest in developing control over the spin of a single Manganese (Mn)
ion, the atomic limit of magnetic memory, in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). In this work …

Indium-arsenide (InAs) containing quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs surfaces are among the
most extensively studied semiconductor QD structures available (see for instance [98B1]) …
